Doctors Visit

Today i had my first doctors appointment for June. I was a little weary of  what he was going to say, given the fact that I have been  having Braxton Hicks Contractions. If you don't know what these are, they are mild contraction that last about 2-15 seconds and happen every so often. The medium contraction tend to give you the feeling that you have to pee, believe me NOT fun. Anyways, my doctor assured me that these are normal and will continue to happen during the rest of the pregnancy...lucy me, right. I also got the news that i have turned anemic. So as a result, I have to add another pill to the handful i have to already take on a daily basis.
Thankfully the rest of the appointment was filled with good news. The blood work i had taken previously had all came back looking good, including the down syndrome test. I was so happy to hear this! I had been worried for the past three weeks. Of course i would love Win no matter what, but it is like a brick house has been lifted off my shoulders. He is looking very healthy and growing fast. I had thought i was 22 weeks 3 days pregnant, but to my surprise i am a week ahead at 23 weeks and 3 days. While they were taking Winston's pictures, i was surprised to find out that Winston's growth is ahead as well. His head measures at 24 weeks....thank god i am not giving natural birth, he has one big noggin.
With the good news leaving me smiling, i left the doctor's office and headed to treat myself to lunch. I am now counting down the next 3 months. i cannot wait until my little man is hear!
